ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
FILLING THE MACHINE BOTTLE
This operation must be performed whenever the available refrigerant in the bottle is less than
3 kg and must in any case be performed when the “empty bottle” indicator lights on the control
console.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the taps on the machine bottle. Procure a bottle of R134a
gas; connect it to the high-pressure hose of the MACHINE. Open the tap of the external bottle
and the high-pressure tap of the MACHINE. If the external bottle is not supplied with a suction
device, turn it upside down to obtain a higher delivery rate. Switch the machine on, then hold
down the SEL key until the LED corresponding to “Recovery” lights. Press the START key to
start the MACHINE. The display will indicate the quantity of refrigerant transferred to the bottle
on board the machine. Close the tap of the external bottle when the quantity transferred is
0.50 kg less than the final quantity desired. Allow the machine to recover the fluid remaining in
the hose. The “oil discharge” LED will light when the machine will have recovered all the fluid
from the hose. The machine will stop automatically. Close the high-pressure tap on the
MACHINE, press the STOP key, and disconnect the external bottle.
VACUUM PUMP
Perform the operations listed below on a routine basis in order to ensure good operation of the
vacuum pump:
M1) Oil top-up.
M2) Oil change.
When topping-up or replacing the pump oil, use only the oil recommended by the
manufacturer. Contact your retailer for information concerning the correct type of oil.
M.1) Oil top-up
This operation must be performed when the level of the oil falls to less than half on the
indicator (4) (refer to Figure 11). NOTE: in order to correctly check the oil level, run the pump
for at least 1 minute (running a vacuum procedure in the hose for 1 minute) so that the oil
fluidifies. Check the oil level when the pump stops. To refill the oil, perform the steps listed
below in the order given. Disconnect the MACHINE from the mains supply. Locate the oil cap
(2) and screw it completely off. The oil must be added through the hole in which the oil cap
was lodged (2). Add oil a little at a time, waiting for the level to rise before each successive
addition, until the oil level is about ½ cm above the red mark on the indicator (4). Replace the
oil cap (2) and tighten down.
M.2) Oil change
The vacuum pump oil must be replaced every 150 working hours and in any case every time
the refrigerant filters are replaced. The oil must also be replaced whenever it changes color
due to absorption of humidity. Before beginning the oil change procedure, procure a container
of at least 500 cc capacity in which to collect the used oil. The pump contains about 500 cc of
oil. Use only the oils recommended by the manufacturer (consult your retailer).
1) Disconnect the machine from the mains supply.
2) Unscrew the filling cap 2 (refer to Fig. 11).
3) Unscrew the drain cap 3.
4) Allow all the oil to run out into a disposal container (with height < 10 cm).
5) Close the drain cap 3.
6) Pour in new oil through the filling hole, opened previously, until the level rises to the
midpoint on the indicator 4.
7) Replace the oil cap 2 and tighten.
